Golisano Pulls $25M Pledge From Downtown PAC

If a downtown Rochester performing arts center is going to happen it won't include funding from Tom Golisano.

The billionaire philanthropist and co-founder of Paychex released a statement today stating his $25 million pledge for the project has been pulled.

The City made an announcement last month saying the previous plan to put the project at Parcel 5 is out, and that they wanted to build it along the River where the Riverside Hotel is.
